The Presto Scherzando from Haydn’s string quartet in D Major, Opus 20 No. 4, performed on original instruments by the New Esterházy Quartet. Live, HD video from the Voices of Music “Saturday Night at the Movies” event, January, 2014. Founded in 2006 and currently in its ninth year of concerts in San Francisco, Berkeley and Palo Alto, the New Esterházy Quartet continues to present masterworks of the classical period alongside intriguing works from less-familiar composers. With Haydn’s sixty-eight string quartets as its core repertoire, NEQ is increasingly recognized as one of the world’s top period-instrument string quartets. http://www.newesterhazy.org
